During a packed agenda the committee placed several items on hold for additional agency consultation and work group follow up.
SB 671 (prompt payment) and SB 213 were held so DGS and MDA can provide detailed information about debriefings, subcontractor impacts and system functionality. SB 644 — which would streamline multiple points of use (MPU) certificates for sales and use tax compliance on digital/IT products and require buyer generation and vendor verification of online MPU certificates per Comptroller rules — was held for consultation with the Comptroller’s office. The committee also indicated it would hold SB 821, which authorizes DGS to pursue acquisition (purchase or condemnation) of an abandoned Sears building in Montgomery County by Dec. 31, 2026, while the chair coordinates with Chairman Smith.
No formal roll‑call tallies for holds were recorded in the transcript; committee direction focused on agency follow‑up and small‑group meetings.
